Zinc-based alloys are emerging as an alternative to magnesium-and iron-based alloys for biodegradable implant applications, due to their appropriate corrosion performance and biocompatibility. However, localized corrosion occurring on the zinc surface, which is generally associated with restricted mass transport at specific surface sites, such as in confined crevices, declines mechanical strength and can lead to the failure of implant materials. In order to improve corrosion behavior and bioactivity, we explore the effect of a ZnO microsheet coating fabricated on pure Zn via anodic oxidization. Samples were characterized with Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) (including Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray Photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray Diffraction (XRD)). The microstructured surface consists of parallel Zn trenches on the bottom and ZnO/Zn
